Fleabag and Hot Priest hand out their favourite tipple to hopeful theatre-goers
Oh my GOD. Talk about a captive audience – fans of Fleabag were the happiest bunnies in London yesterday, when Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Andrew Scott made an appearance outside Wyndam’s Theatre yesterday to hand out their trademark gin-in-a-tins to hopeful theatre-goers.
Crowds waited outside the Soho venue in the hopes of nabbing a seat for Waller-Bridge’s sell-out one-woman-show Fleabag, since adapted into her cult BBC hit series of the same name. As you will undoubtedly remember, its second season brought Scott as Everyone’s Favourite Hot Priest to our screens. Famously a fan of tinned gin and tonic , it was only fitting that he accompany PWB in handing his favourite guilty pleasure to the masses.
A woman called Alexei, to whom we are immensely grateful, filmed the blessed moment and broke it down for. She explained how the duo rocked up ‘just before the box office opened. Andrew Scott came out followed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge carrying boxes of M&S G&T, giving them away to everyone in the queue.’
Unsurprisingly, the gesture was well received: ‘No one could believe it was actually happening! Phoebe Waller-Bridge thanked everyone for waiting for hours and said that she hoped people would get tickets and would enjoy the show,’ she said. I’m pleased to report that Andrew and Phoebe offered options, with Slim-line and ‘full-fat’ cans available (and happier still to convey that PWB was in charge of distributing the latter – I’m a full-fat kind of girl, for the record.
Did Twitter go bananas? What do you think? The video posted by @scouserachel has been liked nearly sixty thousand times and counting, with fan responses overwhelmingly falling into two camps: joyful envy, and envious joy.
